Gift Suggest

When I was in high school I was the typical giggling girl who went nuts over just about anything. I’d plan weeks in advance for any and all school events and if I didn’t get at least five heart shaped valentines chocolates boxes I would consider my valentines day a complete disaster. The kind of gifts that appealed to my silly sixteen year old mind the most were candy bouquets and just about everything else that was either chocolate or sugar or sugar coated chocolate.

Now that I’m all grown up (and dating a doctor) my crazy addiction to sugar and candy has reduced somewhat but I still wait impatiently for Valentines Day. I don’t expect a whole ton of Valentines Day gifts anymore either; just one really great mind blowing Valentines Day gift and I’m happy. Of course my boyfriend isn’t happy with that, he prefers buying me valentines bouquets or valentines chocolate gifts on and off in the days leading up to Valentines Day so that he’s relieved of the pressure to buy one superb gift that says it all. So we’ve made a little agreement; he takes me out for a nice valentines dinner and gets me flowers and one other gift

The overall effect is he doesn’t have to have to go crazy doing his valentines shopping trying to find a great Valentines Day gift for me. I don’t know why he worries so much; he’s great at picking out romantic gifts for women. Last year he gave me a bouquet of beautiful long stemmed roses and a box of absolutely delicious chocolate covered strawberries.

My mom used to make the chocolate strawberries at home when I was little but these tasted so much better and I was left wondering what brand of chocolate they use. The dipped fruit was so wonderful I would’ve have been happy with just getting fruit for Valentines Day for the rest of my life!
